emergency page, which will be updated with new information as it is
relayed, including the complete directory of text messages sent and
links for more information.

Digital Signage

Emergency information will be displayed on campus digital signage and monitors.

Red Alert (Reverse 911)In some instances, UW may be able to make use of Red Alert, the reverse 911 service used by the Laramie Police Department.

Remember, when you hear outdoor warning sirens,
including the outdoor warning siren on the Wyoming Union, immediately
seek shelter (shelter in place) in a safe location within a building or
facility.

Fire alarms immediately evacuate the building and move to the designated meeting area.

All other alerts follow the directions given. In
all instances you should get additional clarifying information by all
possible means. UW Homepage, UW Text Alert, e-mail, etc.

Emergency Terms

Shelter in Place: Choose an interior room or one with as few doors and windows as possible. Remain there until the danger has passed.

Seek Secure Shelter: Move to a lockable space, like
an office or classroom, and remain there. Lock and barricade doors,
turn off lights, and turn cell phones to silent or vibrate mode. Shelter
under a desk or other surface to hide.

Evacuate: Immediately leave the building, exiting through the nearest and safest exit. If the fire alarm has not been activated, do so.
